The Somatically Rooted Homeschool Co-op
Open Ages 6 –17
We are so thrilled you found us. Our little homeschool co-op is tucked away at the corner of 922/215 in Collinsville, Texas, and welcomes children ages 6-15 while there is space.
It is our intention to nurture and inspire a child’s curiosity to resourcefully solve the challenges of life and the world. We teach on a wildlife management property fostering a relationship and connection with the planet and its rhythms. Through Somatic Regulation techniques we support children to understand and build a strong relationship between their mind and body. And at the root of all we do is build a lifelong love for learning to support a Global Citizen mindset.
Whether you are a part of our homeschool family or not, we offer events all year-long to support the connection and thriving relationship dynamics of Self and family systems.
The Curriculum
We use the Global Village School's curriculum guides and incorporate culture, art, nature, play therapy, and somatic regulation into our learning environment. Our emphasis is on leveraging a child's unique and individualized learning style for self-paced development building on each child’s interests and strengths. Children over 10 will be supported in creating a year-long service-learning-based project and learn the skills of self-management, project management, entrepreneurship, and financial planning. It is our intention to nurture a child’s curiosity to resourcefully solve the challenges of life and the world.
The Environment
We are on a wildlife management property and have a deep respect for our planet and animals. We do a great deal of outdoor learning. Kids will learn about rain catching, composting, growing food, and outdoor cooking. We teach Somatic Regulation techniques that help children understand their bodies, their emotions and build a strong relationship between the mind and body.
The Schedule
The school co-op runs 3 days per week Monday-Wednesday from 9-2. We are located at 215/922 on the border of Collinsville and Tioga, Texas. The 2024-2025 school year will run from September 9- May 28. We are not accredited and do not track grades for students until 14 years of age.
How We Learn
We follow a loose daily routine of core materials and integrate games, art, literature, and nature exploration in everything we do. We will study nine cultures from around the world throughout the year, and we host guest teachers that focus on the areas of math, science, art, music, anthropology, psychology, culinary arts, and music therapy. These teachers are often adults who have made their passion their life’s purpose.

Registration Process.
Each registration requires a form completion, a phone interview, and an in-person play date. Often families are interested but children need time to adjust to their environments and we want children to be comfortable with the environment in which they learn.
